By Fort Worth Weekly
September 11, 2019
Euless police Chief Mike Brown can be a tough hombre when needed or he would not
have moved up the ranks so far. But the tall lawman carries himself like a calm and caring public servant. Mike has worked in law enforcement for more than four decades, much of
that time in Euless, a town of 56,000 people in between Fort Worth and Dallas. His passion for law and order comes first, but running close behind is a deep affection for Texas Music.
Among Mike’s favorite artists are Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen, Verlon Thompson, and Townes Van Zandt. They inspire him to play guitar and write original songs. Mike enjoys
policing and doesn’t plan on heading to Nashville anytime soon but will typically be strumming his guitar to wind down at day’s end. Thanks for playing a great old song and
hanging out with us for a few minutes, Chief. You picked and sang great!

What’s new at Glade Parks in Euless?
Three new restaurants
BY CARLA JIMENEZ EULESS SEPTEMBER 24, 2019 As the massive development at Glade Parks in Euless moves into the final phases of construction, new tenants are moving in to be part of it. The first on the list is First Watch, a breakfast joint that serves up a mix of classic breakfast fare (eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc.) side-by-side with trendier offerings (avocado toast, chia pudding, etc.). There are currently five First Watch locations in Tarrant County. The
location at Glade Parks is under construction at the southeast corner of the Belk
building and will be open by the end of the year.
Next up, Drew Brees’ cajun-themed franchise Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar will be
moving in. Known for duck gumbo and Krispy Kreme bread pudding, Walk-On’s is
mostly a sports bar that serves the kind of food befitting that label with its own
Louisiana twist. No word on a timeline for opening yet.
Lastly, MOD Pizza is also planning to set up shop in Glade Parks. This pizza chain
is following the models of other newer pizza places like Blaze or Pie Five: MOD
allows you to create your own 11-inch pizza from more than 30 toppings, all at the
same price. There are three other MOD Pizza locations in Tarrant County, but a timeline for opening has not been finalized.
